Man, 58, stabbed by teen in Maroubra robbery

A teenager has allegedly stabbed a man multiple times during a robbery in Maroubra yesterday, police say.

Police were called to an assault at a supermarket on Maroubra Road shortly after 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon, where they found a 58-year-old man with stab wounds to his back and leg. His wallet and mobile phone were also missing.

Investigators called on the Police Dog Unit to launch a search of the area, and soon located a 16-year-old boy in Paine Street, Maroubra.

“Three crime scenes have been established in Maroubra Road and Paine Street,” NSW Police said. “A knife has been seized and sent for forensic examination.”

The 58-year-old man was taken to St Vincent's hospital for treatment, police said. A hospital spokesman said he had undergone surgery and was this morning in a stable condition.

The 16-year-old was charged with wounding or causing grievous bodily harm to a person with intent to murder, and robbery while armed with offensive weapon.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in the Children's Court today.
